Health insurance is a cornerstone of any employee benefits package, especially in today’s rapidly evolving health care landscape. Our customizable group health plans are designed with the goal of helping your employees access quality health care, whether that’s through a PPO, HMO, HSA or another plan option.

And, with supplementary health coverages like critical illness, cancer and gap health insurance available, you can give your employees the flexibility to choose the health care coverage that best suits their needs and the needs of their families.

Disability insurance is an essential aspect of helping to protect your employees’ financial stability in the event of an unexpected illness or injury. Our offerings include short-term disability, long-term disability and long-term care policies, with voluntary and group insurance structures available. While your benefits broker will explain these options in detail, here’s a brief overview of these offerings:

• Short-term disability (STD) insurance provides financial support to employees who are unable to work due to a temporary disability like illness, injury or childbirth.
• Long-term disability (LTD) insurance extends this coverage, offering financial support for more extended periods of incapacity.
• Long-term care insurance assists with the cost of care and living expenses if a policyholder suffers a severe cognitive impairment (such as dementia or brain injury-related impairments) for more than 90 days or becomes unable to perform two of the six Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).

A well-structured retirement plan is not only beneficial for your employees’ future, but it can also serve as a valuable tool for attracting and retaining top talent. Our team can help you add this important benefit to your total compensation package in a way that suits various employee needs and preferences.

With retirement plan options that include 401(k) plans, defined benefit plans, fixed annuities, 403(b) plans, deferred compensation plans and more, you can provide your employees with a way to invest in their future while fostering a culture of long-term thinking and financial security.

Vision and dental insurance are often overlooked in benefits packages, but these offerings can help address aspects of employee health and wellness that are frequently neglected due to the prohibitive costs associated with vision and dental care. Both of these policies can be offered on a voluntary or group basis, giving employees flexibility and access to a range of vision and dental services, depending on the specific policy selected, to help them better maintain their overall health.

Life insurance is a vital component of any employee benefits package, helping to offer peace of mind to your employees and their families. Life insurance helps ensure that, in the event of an untimely death, employees’ families are provided for financially.

Our life insurance solutions in Las Cruces include voluntary or group life insurance coverage, giving you, the employer, the flexibility to tailor your benefit offerings to your employee demographics, needs and preferences.
